THE SOUTHERN MAK GET IT
Bnmored to Have Purchased

THE MORTGAGE SALE'
Will Take Place at an Early Date
' : and the Southern May he . .
, the Pnrchaaer.-
The Washington Bfenlng News, of
yeatarday, wbleh arrived here this
morning, contained, under eeaeational
headline,' a aolaun. artiai of , a. tn
mored deal by th Southern for the O,
F. and Y. V. Bailroad, from which w
take the following) - ,'
f- "The Cap Fear and Tadkia Valley
Bailroad. of North Carolina, is to b
sold andr foreclosure of mortgage at
at early date. - ,
"There are reasons for entertaining
the belief that th road wfll be pur
chased by th Southern. ",; It is set
tled fsok that th Southern haa for a
number of year been especially de
sirous of resching one of tha seaport
of North Carolina, Which they will so-
sompllsh by entering Wilmington. Th
Cap Fear river runs through Wil
mington, and It has a very fine harbor
and many large vessels enter the port
"The Cap Fear and Yadkin Valley
peopls hv within the Ut year
rested som very extenelv coal le
vator and have a contract with manu
facturer la England for th shipment
of coal to that country. The purchase
of this rosd by the Southern would
give practically icluslventrsnoe into
som of th moat productive territory
of th State of North Carolina.
"Than, alio, it would place1 the
Southern la a fine position to compete
with th Seaboard Air Line, and th
Atlantis Cosst Line roads for traffic In
torn of th moat productive parte of
th Old North State. ' '
"Thar I also a rumor to th effect
thatth Norfolk' and Western would
also like to purchase thi rosd, bat th
ehanoes rs If It 1 purchased by any
of the large syndicates at all, It will
pass Into th control of -th Southern.
The Baltimore and Ohio have also got
their eagle ey set upon th road.'
8hould it be purchased by the latter
tyttem, it would be necessary for that
company to build a-pew line from Le-,
Ington, Va., to Mt. Airy, the western
terminus of the Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley road. The Baltimore and Ohio
could also build from Leiingtoa -io
Winston or Salem,, aad there make
connection with tha Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley road. i:
The mileage of the road embraces
about 806 miles, ths southern division
extending Into South Carolina.. If
purchased by the Southern road It will
practically give that great ayatem ex
clusive control of all th traffic of
nearly all of North end South Caro
line, in connection with their branches
of th road which are now penetrating
thi State.
"la sonnsetioa with th prospective
sale, there seems to be pretty scheme
of a combination of some of ths bond
holders and other partie have on hand
to dismember and disrupt the road and
destroy it as a frank lias from beean
to mountain. A gentleman of Wilming
ton who is Interested in railway mat
ters and who is jealous of the beat la
tereets of that eity was recently in Bal
timore, where he mat capitalists largely
interested in railway sffairs. and from
th mpst reliable source in railroad sir
ales "'hi learned of th schema men
tioned. To a reporter he said i
The Cap Fear and Tadkia Val
ley Bailroad bondholders' committee
la Baltimore, consisting: of Messrs. W.
H. Blackford, chairman j Frank T. Bed
wood. William H. Perot, John A. Tomp
kins, Basil B. Got don, J . W, Mlddn
dorf, and Frank P. Clark, h i nndr
stood, have prepared a plaa of reor
ganisation, which seeks to have the
road sold ss a unit and reorganised on
a business basis, that is, that the re
brganisatloa shll provide for the com
pute equipment and suooaeaful opera-
tioa of th road as a trunk lin be
tween Wilmington and Boanoke.'
It i complained to th Paasa.Visi-
roa that t. Is unjust to th State Fair
next week that arrangement ahonld
have been "made tor tb children of th
nnbll schools and th students of th
r ..,-.....

ia- Fair week, it i certainly nnfor
taaate for the Fair and a pity that

SCHOOL CHILDREN TO ATLANTA
They Will Leave on a Special Train
- Monday-Hollday-Hext Week. v-:
' Superintendent Howell is extreme
ly anxious for the Children of the
pabilo schools, or as many as possi
ble, to visit the Atlanta Exposition.
With this view he has made special
arrangements with the Southern
Railroad whereby a special train haa
been seoured for the transportation
of thoselwho may wish to go. This
train will leave at 7 o'clock Monday
morning and arrive at Atlanta by
supper time, thus making the entire
trip by day light The fare for the
trip will be only $7 00, and for child
ren between the. ages of five and
twelve years of age only $3 60. These
rates are obaper 4han on any othr
railroad, but those who may wish to
return' may do so on any Southern
train before Ootober 80. The school
children will return on Tuesday, Oo
tober 39i:h. -The rates are made not
only to school children but to parents
and those who may go In plaoe of
parents to care tor the children. Mr.
Howell estimates the total cost of
the trip at $20 00.
' Superintendent Howell was seen
by a reporter today. ; He said that
considering the Exposition a "great
educational feature, be thought that
it possible the ohildren should have
an opportunity of seeing it Be was
sorry that circumstances are such
that the trip ooofiiots with the State
Fair, but it must be taken next week
or not at all. So the two day's holi
day usually given Fair week will be
stretched into a week's holiday and
a trip for those who can go to At
lanta, atrip whioh as far as general
information obtained eonnta.is equal
to weeks of schooling.
Mortality Among Negroes.
cw Orleans Picayune. . v
The student of sanitary statistics
cannot but be Impressed to an ex
treme degree with the extraordinary
mortality among the. negroes of the
United States, as oompared with
that of the whites." I : ; 'j
The official reports of the health
authorities in the prinoipal oities of
the Union, as collected in the Ooto
ber number of the New York "Ban!
tarian" Magazine.givesome startling
faots as terrace, mortatity. - The fol

From these figures it will be seen
that the death rate of the negroes is
from 60 to 200 per cent, grester than
that of the whites, and even in Chi
cago there is no exception to the
general rule..' Statistics are lacking
of the race , mortality in St Louis,
Washington, Cincinnati and other
oities where there are considerable
negro population; but there is no
reason to Buppose that there will be
any speoial change in favor of the
colored people, sis j ; .'i v.
This extraotdinrry mortality of the
negroes is the necessary result of the
sudden enfranchisement of 4,000,000
slavesj wholly In experienced in self-
government and In habits of personal
voluntary abatinenoe. Unfit to con
trol themselves as they,. were to be
vested with the politioal control of
others, destitute of any respeotfor
continenoe'and ohastity, it'waa to be
expected that the negroes, fv irom
all restraints onoa imposed on them
when in a state of slavery,: would
give a loose rein to their passions
and would indulge, without any con
sideration of prudence and modera
tion, in every - sort of debauohery
open to them, while disregarding all
sanitary arrangements. : ? it ' ; :
Centuries of freedom have been
found necessary to bring the white
races to the condition of moral worth
and the regard for personal honor
and ohastity to Whioh they have at
tained. Certainly no leas of discip
line and ho briefer period of proba
tion are required for the moral and
sanitary development of the negroes.
The misguided and fanatical persons
who believed that, by the mere flat
of authority and the stroke of a pen,
tne nacits, tne peouiianues ana me
entire characteristics of a race of
people eould be wholly and immedi
ately changed find all their anticipa
tions disappointed and their calcula
tions proved false. - : : S
It is the saored duty of the white
peop.e to reoognir.4 the natural and
neoessary defects of the negro as a
freeman, and bv a nroper education
and restraint prepare him for the
funotiocs so suddenly, and for that
reason imprudently, thruBt upon
him, and the only whites who are
in a position to do this are those of
the Southern States. The negro is
HDeciallv commuted to their cure as
a freeman just as he was when a
slave, and tney must do for him that
whioh will best fit him to be a citizen
and a respeotablelmember of society.
